20.07.2021 • The photography festival in ARLES – LES RENCONTRES DE LA PHOTOGRAPHIE – celebrated the opening weekend from 4 – 7 July. Our GoSee correspondent Rolf Scheider, photography specialist, casting director and entertainer, was there and presents his highlights from the 52nd edition, which is still on through September, inviting visitors with the slogan ‘Summer of Fireflies’ (UN ETE DES LUCIOLES).

“Thanks to the perfect organization by the Arles Rencontres crew and THE ARLES 2021 APP, I was able to see all exhibitions in six days. Festival Director Christoph Wiesner has taken up the cause of ‘Resistance’, themed upon which he has put together an exciting mix. My five absolute highlights from the 35 exhibitions curated lovingly and with lots of commitment are :

MASCULINITES La libération par la photographie
THE NEW BLACK VANGUARD Photographie entre art et mode
PIETER HUGO Etre présent
STEPHAN GLADIEU République Populaire démocratique de Corée
SABINE WEISS Une vie de photographie

I was immediately able to relate to the mindset of the 97-year-old photography legend when I attended her two podium...

EVENTS RALPH LAUREN celebrates all forms of beauty - Colette de BAROS c/o ALYSSA PIZER MANAGEMENT photographs brand ambassador Janelle Monáe for her performance at the presentation of the Spring ‘21 collection

13.07.2021 • For RALPH LAUREN, Colette de BAROS c/o ALYSSA PIZER MANAGEMENT photographed singer, actress, entertainer and brand ambassador Janelle Monáe for the presentation of the Spring ‘21 collection at the Ralph Lauren Boutique in Beverly Hills.

We gladly quote VOGUE : “Whether it’s taking over Central Park for his 50th anniversary or staging a one-night-only Art Deco nightclub extravaganza, if there’s one thing Ralph Lauren knows, it’s how to put on a show – even when, as with his spring 2021 collection which debuted this evening, there’s no live audience.

To mark the occasion, Lauren enlisted the help of his regular collaborator Janelle Monáe for a black & white film performance in the magnificent setting of his Beverly Hills store, here transformed into a smoky speakeasy while Monáe does her best Frank Sinatra in a double-breasted tuxedo and sings a swoon-worthy rendition of “All or Nothing at All.” Over the past few years, Janelle Monáe has become one of Ralph Lauren’s most visible ambassadors, whether performing at the fall 2019 Art Deco nightclub spectacular, or wearing a breathtaking...

EVENTS Miles not traveled - works by Sigurd KRANENDONK c/o ROCKENFELLER & GÖBELS, on display at FOTOFESTIVAL NAARDEN 2021 and for you on GoSee.NEWS

06.07.2021 • Due to changing global conditions, Sigurd KRANENDONK c/o ROCKENFELLER & GÖBELS (photographer) and Frank Visser (artist) decided to join forces and create a visionary world together. Travel was nearly impossible in this highly scaled-down world, which is why virtual travel became the only option. Memories of distant journeys that each went on separately served as their inspiration.

In a spacious warehouse, different sets were built to represent imaginary destinations. With varying lighting arrangements, the sets turned into sweltering cities, villages and hamlets. Clouds drifting across the sky, rain showers puring down and desert heat could almost be felt in this project, and were created by means of color and abstraction. Destinations without arrival, miles not traveled, fantasy destinations. Looking for unknown places, for untold stories in houses never before seen.

The works by Kranendonk & Visser are on display during FotoFestival Naarden 2021 at Bastion Oranje Building G. GoSee & Enjoy : fotofestivalnaarden.nl///Kranendonk

EVENTS BBC’s GREAT BRITISH PHOTOGRAPHY CHALLENGE with RANKIN on the jury names two winners for the first time : Jackson Moyles (Landscape) & Tyrone Williams (Street Art) with artwork on GoSee NEWS

29.06.2021 • In an unexpected twist in the final episode of BBC’s Great British Photography Challenge, not one, but two winners have been named. Jackson Moyles, 21, from Dunfermline, and Tyrone Williams, 28, from Northampton, were crowned joint winners and are the first photographers to claim the title in this new series. Over the past four weeks, photographer and director RANKIN, who is internationally acclaimed for his famous iconic portraits, had to make this decision together with Ellen Stone, founder of Public Offerings Ltd.

RANKIN on the Jury’s decision : “Picking a winner for the show was really hard. It prompted some heated debate between me and the other judges. Tyrone and Jackson are completely different photographers, with two very different styles and career paths. Tyrone is an art photographer, with a really clear voice. His work grabbed my attention from the very beginning. Jackson’s work, on the other hand, grew as he found himself over the competition. So in that way, they were both stand-out photographers who showed their talent during the competition. There was no way we...
